He trained and put forward the young people, who formed the strong cornerstone of the development of the state, as brave fighters and honorable builders of socialism who reliably carry forward the tradition of loyalty and patriotism in the ongoing general advance. His loving care was a source of heat and motive power that made the whole area for construction of Jonwi Street seethe with the zeal for performing miracles and feats.

With a single desire to live up to the great trust of the Workers' Party of Korea, the passionate young people from across the country volunteered to work at the new construction site to add glory to the high honor of the Korean youth, for the eternal prosperity of the socialist country and for the capital city of Pyongyang.

Slogans, watchwords, red flags, large visual panels and quick reports reflecting the Party's idea and songs resounding throughout the construction site further redoubled the fighting spirit of the young builders.

The builders, who started the foundation excavation all at once while fully displaying the mettle of the socialist patriotic youth, the reserves of the Workers' Party, pushed ahead with the project, waging intensive all-night campaign from the beginning.

The fighting spirit of the young vanguard, who remains absolutely faithful to the call of the times and the revolution, was fully displayed in the framework construction of houses.

The framework construction of 54 high-rise buildings and skyscrapers was a demanding task for the young people, but they conducted brisk emulation drive at the construction site with high enthusiasm to complete as soon as possible a new street admired by the whole country.

The young soldiers, who rushed to the Sopho area, fully demonstrated the might of the revolutionary army, regarding as the lifeline the great trust of the Party which entrusted the construction of important structures symbolic of Jonwi Street to them.
